Gadget Guide: Asian Weapons
Heroes and villains in pulp fiction
and early comic books often
wielded powers or weapons
from “the mysterious East”
and the fascination with Asian
martial arts (especially ninjas) in
the 1980s made various historic
Asian weapons a superhero
staple. This Guide looks at
archaic Asian weapons and
those often used to supplement
unarmed martial arts, along with
gadgets employed by ninjas.
Hidden in Plain Sight
Due to the laws and customs of many of their
original cultures, many Asian weapons evolved from
otherwise mundane tools or agricultural implements,
items peasants could easily own and carry without raising
the kind of suspicion a sword might (to say nothing
for the cost of a finely-made sword for a poor peasant
farmer). Thus nunchaku developed from the threshing
flail, the kama from the sickle, and the tonfa from a mill
wheel handle, for examples. Although the purpose of
many of these weapons was concealment, they are not
considered Subtle effects, as their “concealment” is more
of a cultural matter (and largely out of context in the
modern world anyway). Only truly hidden or concealed
weapons need the Subtle modifier. See Concealed
Weapons later in this Guide for examples.
Paired Weapons
Many Asian melee weapons are wielded in pairs as part
of a two-handed fighting style. In Mutants & Masterminds,
having and wielding a pair of weapons can be treated as
an application of the Split extra (Hero’s Handbook, page
144): pay an extra point for the second weapon in the pair,
and then split the total damage for one weapon into two.
Specific constructions may also treat paired weapons as
Linked effects, a Multiattack, or even a Secondary Effect,
but this Guide uses the Split version.
Sample Weapons
The information in the Archaic Weapons Guide can build
a wide range of weapons. The following are provided as
examples and benchmarks for your own Asian weapon
creations and as a quick-pick list for players and GMs
looking to outfit a character with weapons.
Blades
Various bladed weapons have as much importance in Asian
culture as the swords and daggers of Western culture.
Gadget Guide: Asian Weapons
Hook Sword: These Chinese
weapons, usually wielded in
pairs, are designed with curved
hooks at the end of the blade,
a crescent-shaped hand-
guard, and a sharp, dagger-
like pommel, allowing them
to be wielded in a number of
different ways. Hook swords
are effective at tripping,
catching opposing weapons,
and blocking. They can even
be hooked together at the tips,
swinging the second sword out so
its pommel slashes, extending the
wielder’s reach.
Kama: A weapon adapted from the type of small
sickle used to harvest crops throughout southeast Asia.
Kama are used in Indonesian, Filipino, and Japanese
martial arts, often wielded in pairs.
Katana: The famous “samurai sword” wielded by noble
warriors in feudal Japan. Katanas are slightly curved
single-edged blades, worn by samurai with the edge
facing up to facilitate quick drawing (the Quick Draw
advantage is a common element of Japanese kendo, or
sword fighting). It is traditionally worn as part of a pair (or
daisho) with the shorter wakizashi blade.
Katar: The Indian “punch dagger” has an H-shaped grip,
so the wielder’s knuckles rest behind the wide, triangular
blade, allowing it to thrust with considerable force,
although they can also make slashing attacks. Katar are
effective in punching through armor.
Kris: An Indonesian dagger with a distinctive wavy or
“flame” blade design, the kris is a cultural icon, and every
adult male in Indonesia was expected to own one, often
passed down as family heirlooms. The blade design allows
kris to inflict terrible wounds.
Indonesian legend attributes many supernatural powers
to the kris, including the power to kill at a distance simply
by pointing at a target, attacking targets by stabbing their
shadow or footprints, alerting the wielder to imminent
danger, and even controlling fire (flames being similar to
the knife’s own blade).
Kukri: A heavy Nepalese knife with an inward curving
edge, used as both a tool and weapon. Kukri are perhaps
most famous as weapons wielded by Gurkha regiments,
including the Royal Gurkha Rifles of the British Army.
Ninja-to: A short, straight sword carried and used by
ninja. The ninja-to is single edged with a chisel point and
a square guard, typically worn in a back sheath and drawn
over the shoulder.
Sai: Tapering metal batons, often wielded in pairs, with
curved side prongs that serve as hand guards and to catch
1
 opposing weapons. Although sais are traditionally blunt,
in the comics they’re typically pointed and also used as
stabbing weapons.
Wakizashi: The shorter companion blade to a katana,
the wakizashi was primarily useful for close-in fighting
(particularly indoors). It was also used for beheading a fallen
foe and, most famously, to commit ritual suicide (seppuku).
War Fan: A weapon based on the more common folding
fans found in different Asian cultures. War fans typically
have bronze, iron, or hardwood struts (sometimes in
combination) or folding metal panels while others are
solid metal and do not fold. In Japan an entire combat
style—tessenjutsu—developed around the use of the war
fan. The edges of the struts or panels may be sharpened,
and the fan can be wielded closed like a club or slashing
weapon or open like a small shield.
Wind and Fire Wheels (feng huo lun): Chinese weapons
consisting of metal rings with grips and flame-styled
blades extending from the rest of the ring. Typically
wielded in pairs as slashing weapons able to block and
disarm opponents. Legend has it the first wind and fire
wheels were gifts from the Taoist immortal Taiyi and could
be used together as a magical flying vehicle by standing
on them.
Bludgeons
Asian bludgeoning weapons tend to be simple monkish
or peasant tools, but should not be underestimated in
their effectiveness.
Bo: A simple wooden staff, often doubling as a walking
stick, making it a useful weapon and tool for wandering
monks. The tetsubo or kanabo is a more powerful club
shod with iron studs. Legend has them as the weapons
of the monstrous oni, and the Japanese saying “like giving
a kanabo to an oni” means giving greater advantage to
someone who already has an advantage (great strength
in the oni’s case).
Nunchaku: A pair of sticks or batons (about a foot in
length) connected by a short piece of rope or chain,
originally an adaptation of a threshing flail. Nunchaku
are wielded with circular and twirling motions to deflect
incoming attacks and give momentum to the wielder’s
strikes. The three-section-staff is similar, but has three
segments, and therefore greater reach and can be used as
a double weapon (add Reach and Split to the basic traits).
Tonfa: Originally a mill wheel handle, the tonfa is a
stick slightly longer than forearm length, with a handle
at a right angle, allowing the stick to extend along the
wielder’s forearm. Tonfa are common close combat
weapons for law-enforcement, where they’re commonly
known as side-handle batons or “T-batons”.
Polearms
Polearms primarily offer the wielder greater reach and
leverage than their opponents and the ability to strike
opponents on horseback or otherwise out of reach of
shorter weapons.
Naginata: The Japanese naginata is a wooden haft
topped with a curved blade similar to that of a katana or
wakizashi. The Chinese guan dao (“reclining moon blade”)
is a similar weapon with a broader, more cleaver-like blade,
traditionally with a red scarf or tassel attached between
the blade and shaft. In Japan after the Edo period, the
naginata became a symbol of status for women of the
samurai class and a common “woman’s weapon”—use is
still taught to some Japanese schoolgirls as a sport.
Nine-dragon Trident (geo loon cha): A polearm topped
with a complex collection of curving and hooked points,
particularly effective in blocking and catching enemy
weapons and in hooking and tripping opponents, as well
as impaling them on one or several of the points.
Spear: Both the Chinese qiang and the Japanese yari
are polearms with pointed, often leaf-shaped, blades.
In addition to the benefits of reach, such spears often
had tassels or whistling notches intended to distract
opponents, allowing the wielder to make a check to feint
using attack bonus rather than Deception (adds 1 point
to cost).
Entangling
Some Asian fighting styles use entangling weapons to
both disarm foes and to disable them with the minimum
of injury.
Chain: A number of Asian weapons are based on the
use of entangling metal chains, including the chain whip
and Japanese kusari (also known as the manrikigusari or
“ten thousand power chain”). The kusari-fundo attaches
weights to either end of the chain while the meteor
hammer goes a step further, adding heavy metal striking
heads. The kusari-gama is a kama (see Blades) with a kusari
attached to the handle, allowing the wielder to strike with
the chain or the sickle (or swing the sickle out at the end
of the chain for greater reach).

Cultural Weapon legends

Much like the sword in the European Middle Ages, or the six-shooter in the American Wild West, various weapons play
key roles in certain Asian cultures, placing them at the center of different legends and beliefs about their capabilities. In a
superhero setting, some or all of these legends might be true, and those weapons may grant their wielders special powers
(or certain specially-trained or chosen wielders may have access to those powers). Specific examples are cited in the
weapon descriptions, along with examples of the powers granted by the weapon, but are not included in the mundane
weapon’s game information. They should be handled on a case-by-case basis between the player and Gamemaster, just
like any other power-granting device.

2 Gadget Guide: Asian Weapons

Garrote: A length of waxed cord or metal wire, often
with handles to help pull it tight around a victim’s throat.
It is an assassin’s weapon, generally used to attack from
surprise and get the victim into a chokehold.
Sash whip: A number of Asian cultures used a length
of cloth (a belt, sash, or even sarong), often with small
weights sewn into it, which could be wielded and cracked
like a whip, and easily concealed as a mundane garment
when not in use.
two main types: spike or bo shuriken are short metal
spikes similar to large nails, while star shuriken are flat
star-shaped wheels with sharpened edges. Both are
fairly easily concealed in sleeves or sashes and typically
thrown several at a time (giving them the Multiattack
modifier).
Ninjas are infamous for applying poisons to the points
and edges of shuriken, adding an Affliction effect (resisted
and overcome by Fortitude) to the weapon’s damage.

High-tech or magical shuriken may have a number of

Ranged extras, ranging from Penetrating ultra-sharp edges (or
energy fields) to Homing ability.
Ranged weapons either use ammunition (such as arrows,
darts, or even handfuls of shuriken) or are singu-
lar throwing weapons. In the latter case, the
weapon may return to the thrower to be used
over and over as part of a normal Ranged modi-
fier. Otherwise, the weapon is good for only one
throw, and then the wielder is deprived of its use until
it is recovered (Recoverable is a +0 modifer).

Arrows: The Japanese bow or daiku features an

asymmetrical grip so it can more easily be used
on horseback. Arrows may use different types
of heads for different purposes.

• Dragon’s Tongue: A rounded,

tapering arrowhead designed to
penetrate armor.

• Frog Crotch: A Y-shaped ar-

rowhead, with the inner angle
sharpened, useful for cutting cords
and—legend has it—even the
wood hafts of weapons.

• Skinsplitter: A broad, triangu-

lar head designed for inflicting
shallow, bleeding wounds.

• Willow Leaf:
A long, thin
arrowhead to
slip between small
openings in armor or
even the slits in a helm
or similar target.

Blowgun (fukiya): A hollow tube

used to fire small darts by blowing
into one end. The blowgun is typi-
cally a weapon for hunting or as-
sassination using darts tipped with
poisons, since the actual damage
the weapon inflicts is negligible.

Chakram: This Indian throwing weapon is a

metal ring with a sharpened outer edge, spun
when it is thrown for additional cutting power.
A master chakram wielder may have the Throwing
Mastery advantage and the Ricochet extra as a power
with the training or skill descriptors.

Shuriken: These Japanese throwing weapons come in

 Ninja Gadgets
In addition to weapons like the ninja-to, the legendary
ninja of Japan were renowned for their use of cunning and
concealed gadgets to carry out their missions. Modern
ninja in an M&M setting might use versions of their
traditional gear (perhaps made with modern materials
and methods) and could supplement it with high-tech or
even magical gadgets ranging from night-vision goggles
to enchanted ninja uniforms or versions of their mundane
gear. Most of the contents of the Utility Gadget Guide
would find use in a ninja’s arsenal.
Nageteppo (Grenades)
Ninjas produced grenades by filling empty eggshells
with combinations of powers that combust rapidly
upon contact with fire, typically a campfire or household
brazier or hearth. They were kept in padded pouches or in
sleeve pockets, but were prone to breakage (a potential
complication). Given their costs, an array of grenades may
be common ninja ordinance.
These grenades have limited range, given their design.
The user is assumed to be just outside their radius when
used, rather than at the center of it.

Concealed Weapons Unless nageteppo have magical properties or great

Often working in disguise, ninjas carried weapons concealed
within otherwise mundane objects or easily hidden
in sleeves or sashes (such as shuriken, under Ranged,
previously). The most common concealed weapon is a
blade hidden within an ordinary staff, much like a European
sword-cane, or a staff able to split apart into sections
connected by chain, forming a nunchaku or three-section
staff (or both, depending on which sections are detached).
The effect of a concealed weapon is a rank of the Subtle
modifier, making the weapon difficult to detect when not
in use. Ninja often make additional use of the weapon’s
concealment, such as using the hollow staff that contains
a blade as a snorkel, or having a hidden compartment
for a vial of poison or other small objects. These can be
treated as Features of the item, or simply stunts the ninja
performs on an as-needed basis by spending hero points.
Concealed Weapon: Subtle added to weapon cost • 1 point.
cultural significance, modern ninja are more likely to use
compact modern ordinance, described in other Gadget
Guides.
• Black Powder: A charge of black powder sufficient to
cause a small explosion, possibly mixed with tacks or
other small, sharp objects as shrapnel.
• Flash Powder: The powder flares with a blinding
flash, particularly in nighttime settings where the fire
is being used for illumination (such as a campfire).
• Lacquer Poison: A combination of powdered
lacquer releases a smoke that is painfully irritating
to the eyes, throat, and skin, helping to distract the
ninja’s targets.
• Smoke Powder: The nageteppo released a thick
cloud of dark smoke, allowing the ninja to move and
act with visual concealment.
Nageteppo: See Asian Weapons table for effect and cost.

Climbing Claws
These metal claws fit over the wearer’s knuckles, with
the claws facing inward (from the palm) to improve
climbing ability on most surfaces where the claws can get
purchase. In a pinch, climbing claws can also be used as
a weapon, changing the wearer’s normal bludgeoning
Strength damage to slashing damage, best handled as an
occasional stunt rather than a regular effect.
Water-Walking Shoes
Special folding shoes made of woven reeds allow the
wearer to remain buoyant enough to “walk” on the surface
of water without sinking.
Water-walking Shoes: Movement 1 (Water-walking),
Limited to half speed • 1 point.

Climbing Claws: Movement 1 (Wall-crawling), Limited to

surfaces where the claws can get purchase • 1 point.

Animal Weapons (or “Snakes on a Chain”)

In addition to the relatively common Asian weapons in this Guide, there are a number of examples of animal-themed
weapons ranging from the exotic to the strange, which players and Gamemasters may wish to include in their Mutants &
Masterminds games. Examples include various metal throwing weapons shaped like animals and usually named for them
(e.g. iron duck, iron toad, steel scorpion, etc.) made so wingtips, beaks, claws, and the like form sharp edges and points
while the rest of the weapon is simply blunt striking surface. Meant to invoke some of the spiritual power of the animal,
these weapons may actually do so for some characters.
The other type literally uses certain animals as weapons! Particular examples include a long chain or pole that grips a
poisonous snake by the neck; the wielder swings so as to strike the target with the (understandably irritated) snake so it
will bite and poison them. Similar is a clay vessel containing scorpions, wasps, or other poisonous vermin, which shatters
on impact, releasing the creatures to sting the victim. In M&M game terms, these are best handled as Limited Afflictions
based on the animals’ attack (and venom), likely Unreliable and possibly with Side-Effects for a failed attack.
